Nancy Morris is a Business & Performance Psychology Consultant, Speaker and Author. She has 19 years of academics under her belt and is about to pursue a PhD. Some of her clients refer to her as an  “un-guru” – a no-nonsense specialist in translating the academic theories of business psychology and people development into actionable insight for the real world.

For almost 20 years, Nancy’s science-backed systems have helped thousands of solopreneurs and self-employed professionals (e.g./ lawyers, commercial and residential real estate agents) master the mind game of productivity, creating more consistent revenue and feeling more confident, focused and valuable at work.

Nancy’s real difference is that she doesn’t float on a cloud with idealistic platitudes or arrive on a stage with fireworks and empty hype. She delivers proven, science-backed advice and ongoing strategy in a system that simply works. She is the same person out at the pub and behind the podium. She is not about pantsuits, long winded speeches or pie-in-the-sky ideals. Instead, she cracks jokes, gets vulnerable, doesn’t pull any punches, and says what you need to hear and how you need to hear it while laughing along as your outcomes are improved.

Nancy has written the book on procrastination called Procrastinate Now: Rethinking Time Management and listeners can download it for free from her website.

In this episode learn about: 

– The importance of goal setting
– Controlling your goals
– Defining your objectives
– Keeping things within your control
– Performance & behavioral goals
